Do you recognize any of these faces?
The RCMP has released the results of a unique facial reconstruction project for 14 unidentified men whose remains were found in British Columbia as far back as 1972.
The collaboration with the New York Academy of Art saw sculptors use 3D-printed copies of skulls provided by the BC Coroners Service as a base on which they built up layers of clay to create an approximation of what the person looked like when alive.
A fuller description of the finished reconstructions can be found here.
Anyone with tips is asked to contact the local police department where the person went missing. More information can be found on the federal government's Canada's Missing page.
